Although apples trees are not very common in Cajun country; apple remains a very popular fruit for both eating and cooking. Here are fun facts from www.funfacts.com - If you grew 100 apple trees from the seeds of one tree, they would all be different. Apples are fat, sodium, and cholesterol free. Apples are a member of the rose family. 25 percent of an apple's volume is air. That is why they float. The largest apple picked weighed three pounds. China is the leading producer of apples with over 1.2 billion bushels grown in 2001. It takes about 36 apples to create one gallon of apple cider - and only 6 apples to create this delicious dessert.
